Lyrics
Verse 1
Onward, Christian soldiers, marching as to war,
"Cum cruce Iesu" (With the cross of Jesus) going on before.
Christ, the royal Master, "Dux noster contra hostem" (Our leader against the enemy),
Forward into battle see His banners go!
Chorus
"Perge, Miles Christi" (Onward, Christian Soldier),
With the cross of Jesus going on before.
"Christus Vincit, Christus Regnat, Christus Imperat!"
(Christ conquers, Christ reigns, Christ commands!)
Verse 2
"Signo triumphali" (At the sign of triumph) Satan's host doth flee;
On then, Christian soldiers, on to victory!
"Fundamenta inferni" (Hell's foundations) quiver at the shout of praise;
"Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus!" (Holy, Holy, Holy!) Our voices raise.
Chorus
"Perge, Exercitus Christi" (Onward, Army of Christ),
With the cross of Jesus going on before.
"Christus Vincit, Christus Regnat, Christus Imperat!"
(Christ conquers, Christ reigns, Christ commands!)
Verse 3
"Ecclesia Militans" (The Church Militant) moves as one great force,
"Vestigia sanctorum" (In the footsteps of the saints) where we've always trod.
We are not divided, "Unum corpus sumus" (We are one body),
"In spe, fide, et caritate uniti" (United in hope, faith, and charity)
Chorus
Bridge
"Regna cadunt, surgunt" (Kingdoms fall, they rise) kingdoms rise and fall,
But the church of Jesus "semper stabit" (will always stand).
"Portae inferi non praevalebunt adversus eam"
(The gates of hell shall not prevail against it)
We have Christ's own promise, "quod non potest fallere" (which cannot fail).
Verse 4
Onward then, ye people, join our "agmen laetum" (happy throng),
"Cantate Domino canticum novum!" (Sing to the Lord a new song!)
"Gloria, laus, et honor" (Glory, praise, and honor) unto Christ the King,
"In saecula saeculorum" (Forever and ever) we shall sing.
Chorus
"Perge, Miles Christi" (Onward, Christian Soldier),
With the cross of Jesus going on before.
"Christus Vincit, Christus Regnat, Christus Imperat!"
(Christ conquers, Christ reigns, Christ commands!)
"In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti!"
(In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit!)
